C/D Overview:

Maserati’s answer to the Mercedes-Benz S-class, the Quattroporte can’t quite match the S-class’s refinement, but it does offer a more involving driving experience and a V-8 engine built by Ferrari. Go for the Sport GTS as it feels more alive and more powerful than the base version.

Base Price: $128,750 - $136,700

Highs

An Italian suit on wheels, leather-lined interior, the engine sounds and feels like a Ferrari engine, the sportiest-feeling sedan in its segment.

Lows

Narrower and smaller inside than rivals, feels about a generation behind when it comes to electronic amenities, Maserati doesn’t exactly enjoy a reputation for quality.
